MW Here's what's coming to Netflix in August 2021 -- and what's leaving

By Mike Murphy

It's another busy month, with '30 Rock' and 'Friday Night Lights,' the teen rom-coms 'The Kissing Booth 3' and 'He's All That,' the return of Marie Kondo and much more

Netflix Inc. has another month packed with new offerings this August, but the two biggest additions ended their critically acclaimed runs almost a decade ago.

Those would be all seven seasons of "30 Rock," the brilliantly madcap sitcom starring Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan, as well as all five seasons of "Friday Night Lights." the high school football drama that's about so much more than just high school football, starring Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton and Zach Gilford. Both binge-worthy favorites will stream starting Aug. 1.

Netflix $(NFLX)$ has a promising slate of movies on tap as well, including "The Kissing Booth 3" (Aug. 11), the third and final installment of the popular teen romance starring Joey King; "Beckett" (Aug. 13), a thriller starring John David Washington as an American tourist in Greece who gets caught up in a deadly conspiracy; "Sweet Girl" (Aug. 23), a "Taken"-like action thriller starring Jason Momoa; and "He's All That" (Aug. 27), a gender-flipped reboot of the '90s teen rom-com "She's All That," as an influencer (Addison Rae) is tasked with turning a loser (Tanner Buchanan) into the prom king.

Among original series, there's Paris Hilton's new cooking show, "Cooking With Paris" (Aug 4); "Hit & Run" (Aug. 6), an international thriller from the creators of "Fauda" and "The Killing," about a husband uncovering a conspiracy surrounding his wife's death; the once-a-week sports documentary series "Untold" (starting Aug. 10); "Brand New Cherry Flavor" (Aug. 13), a supernatural revenge/horror limited series set in 1990s Los Angeles; "The Chair" (Aug. 20), a dark comedy starring Sandra Oh as a university professor-turned-department chair; "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf" (Aug. 23), an anime spinoff of the hit fantasy series; "Clickbait" (Aug. 25), a limited-series thriller starring Adrian Grenier as a man who gets kidnapped and reappears online with a sign reading "I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die"; and "Sparking Joy" (Aug. 31), a new docuseries from Marie Kondo as the organization icon helps small businesses tidy up their workplaces.
